Weekend Wardrobe: Dark Brown and Golden Yellow Fall 4x4 Wardrobe

Vintage yellow and white race horse scarf (from Etsy)

When I saw the vintage race horse scarf above I immediately felt that it had the perfect color scheme for a fall wardrobe.  I love to wear chocolate brown, but yellow can be a difficult color for me.  However, I find the more golden shades of yellow (with names such as amber, saffron, sunflower, etc.) to be wearable, so I selected the darker yellow from the scarf to incorporate into the collection.  Throw in an ever so slightly warm shade of white, and the color scheme is set:

Let's start with the first set of four in that warm chocolate brown:

Clockwise from top left: H&M Wool-Blend Sweater in Dark Brown Melange; Blair Long-Sleeve Jewel-Neck Tee in Java; Coldwater Creek Pinwale Stretch Corduroys in Brown; L.L. Bean Women's Slim Perfect Fit Pants in Deepest Brown.

The second set of four features the golden yellow:

Clockwise from top left: Coldwater Creek Ribbed Turtleneck Sweater in Saffron; L.L. Bean Women's Signature Cotton Turtleneck in Dark Amber; J. Crew Women's 8" Toothpick Corduroy Pants in Golden Bandy; Coldwater Creek Knit Denim Straight Leg Jeans in Saffron.

A fun array of prints and a basic cardigan are added in the next set of four:

And finally, a few more tops plus a corduroy skirt round out this basic 4x4 wardrobe:

Clockwise from top left: J. Crew Three-Quarter-Sleeve Stretch Perfect Shirt in White; Banana Republic Animal-Print Stretch-Modal Long-Sleeve Crew in Brown Print; Coldwater Creek Superbly Soft Fleece Pullover in Saffron; Coldwater Creek Pull-On Pincord Skirt in Brown.

And here is the entire collection pulled together in a 4x4 format:

The golden yellow color in particular makes this such a warm and happy wardrobe.  I was lucky to find so many print tops that fit in with my collection, as I love prints.  Next week I will attempt to add some warm and happy accessories, including the inspiration scarf, to complement these pieces.
